The full highway closure will continue as repairs are being made with an estimated date for opening on April 21, 2017. Inclement weather and cold temperatures may be contributing factors in completing this work. Motorists should expect up to 60-minute delays as they seek alternate routes. Detour information is as follows: Eastbound detour – take northbound SR-49 to eastbound SR-88 Westbound detour – take SR-88 to southbound SR-49 to SR-26
